It all comes out except for what's in the torque converter. Doing just
a flush is bad news since you don't get the filter changed. You can
also change the fluid/filter, refill with new fluid, drive it around a
bit then...

Disconnect the transmission cooler return line and let the
transmission's own pump empty 5-6 quarts of fluid.

Then reconnect the line and refill to the appropriate level.

This doesn't get a 100% change of fluid either, but it's reasonably close.

Cheers,
